The Guardian had Kerr at third last year in their rankings and
couldn't help but bump up her ranking after another special
year.

"The Australian forward Kerr was once again one of the game's
most prolific scorers in 2018, topping the NWSL charts for the
second season in a row with 16 goals after swapping Sky Blue FC for
Chicago Red Stars at the start of the year," The Guardian's
description read.

"At international level she was once again the Matildas'
talisman during a year in which they just missed out on the Asian
Cup, losing 1-0 to Japan in the final.

"Three goals at that tournament contributed to an overall tally
for club and country of 29 for the year."
